Suzanna Chevalier Poems

The soul gets hurt when it goes to jail
This is where the system fails…
It does psychological damage like that
It makes humans feel bad, guilty
...

Came as a light worker to make jail not so grim- -
inmates being in jail needed some smiles.
Their thoughts and feelings were quite dim.
Going on a mission as a change agent
...

Why not have certain inmates who are willing to change—
realize they can get better and write a new page—
A new page to their life from not going back to the insane—
Through sheriffs good thoughts, actions words and deeds
...

Doing what matters most
for I am still human, I’m not a ghost.
“You are Oneness, Consciousness and Bliss”
I kept repeating this.
...

Going across a cross walk and what do I see?
A flashing hand starring at me.
Count down the voice does go
it reminds me of my handprint that
...

If this is their first offense
and they are “not” serial rapists or mentally ill
or used guns to kill-
Should we ruin their names-
...

What if a light worker committed suicide
in confined walls
wouldn’t that had been a depressing thing for us all?
A light worker can bring light and change from the outside
...

Pray for inmates walking to court in chains
chains around their ankles they do feel pain.
How does this affect the human psyche?
Are we making them more like criminals
...

In our great country of the US of A
we are guilty until proven innocent
no matter what they say.
Someone could frame you and lie to the cops
...

The least I could do for them is send
a blessing with my hands
they are in confinement with no one to understand.
I send them my prayers and my light everyday-
...
